SEASONABLE HINTS
The following seasonable hints are
taken from the first number of a
publication by that name issued by
the Department of Agriculture.
Feeds
Feeds such as ground grains. cut
hay-, mixed meals, etc., should bw:
prepared' and not put off until the
spring when field work will ;.demand
till your. :time. This ensures good
feeding :when such .is most ,needed,,
Horses
If more horses Are likely- to be re
auired for the summer's work, buy
before the greater scarcity raises the
prices.
it is unfair and unwise to expect
horses wh:oh have been ecanding
idle during a large port of the win-
ter to go into hard work without
reasonable preparation. Sudden
changes in the exercises and feeding
arc ,always injurious, and often fatal.
Wihen increasing the oats during
heavy work. do hot forget to .include
:bout 20 per ,cent of bran, or the
Saturday night bran tnashias. Bran is
nutritious and its lazing •qualities.
prevent colisc, lymphangitis, ,arotuxia,
skin rashes and like troubles.
Watch the brood mares carefully ;•
carelessness at foaling time often
causes melees. Give the mare regular
tight work until Coaling, and feed pro-
portionatels. After foaling feed for
millet
select ,early the stallion for the
coining breeding season ; only the best
should be uded.
Dairy Cattle
Spring calves are now freshening,
and this is the time to start weighing
the milk, tiw bicb, is tat only reliable
means of detecting ,the eulls t and
boarders in the herd.
(Sore the good calves ,for •breeding
Good dairy COWS will be'"liigh in value
for many years to come.
Have you trade plans for the green
food crop to tale over,the short, dry
'pastures of Lnidsummer and early Pall?
Mixed peas end oats, clover, alfalfa'.
and corn are excellent soiling •crops•
for tblee purpose,
?Don't We the stoop on pastures
too yearly,, for they get "little Meed. and
lujure the Itasturce.
Beef Cattle
Scrub cattle carried over .tits same
mer mean money ,wasted; finish there
o once -this uoludes
o the ati
tor h lois
Duns. cows and ,steers.'
Tile great shortage of beef warrants
you raising all the good calves. Larly
maturity in feeders is invaluable; sell
as y oung as possible for .beef but.
above all, ,fineea well: the -Finished
stuff always tops, the market.
Good bulls are scarce; don't part
too quick's witth tine proven sixes
Now that meal prices are high it
es well to xemew.ber that the: cheap,
yet highly nutritious rougha.ges,, alf-
alfa. corn and ,green feed must be
the basis of profitable beef -raising,
Swine
Exercise is essential to the ,brood
sows and litters. Feed the sow a
good mill: -producing ration after +fare
rowing, and teach the Litters to eat
as earls as possible.
stave sou good pasture for the sows
and litters? Alfalfa, ,glover, rape,
and soung rye are excellent Cor this
purpose.
Farm Buildings
If sou are thinking of remodelling
old, barns or building new ones start
early in the summer. Do your pre -
lent barns not ,need more flight,, bet-
ter ventilation, more sanitary floors,
or some repairs? A thorough cleaning
and wlh;te-was Ging alter cattle are
on pasture means greater comfort clod
tower flies about buildings all sum-
mer. Plan to give the barnyards the
necessary cleaning, draining, and
graveling as soon as possible.
If sou have no silo or not enough
tsilo room, now is 'the ttime to prepare
for building; a delay means wasted
moues.

to hent DENTS A PAIR,•
;
Charles E Slater Got a Handsome
- Commission on Boots.
OTTAWA, March 30. -Before the
Parliamentary. Boot Committee last
night, Charles E. Slater, who acted as
agent for the Gauthier Shoe Co in
securing orders for 17,000 pairs of
army boots from the Government,
stated that he had received a com-
mission of 50 cents per pair, making
a total of $8,500. The Gauthier price
for the boots was $3.82 1-2 per pair,
made up of $3.32 1-2 which the
company got and 50 cents commis-
sion, which Mr. Slater got. Before
the war his commission was 10 per
ent. for getting orders from the
Militia Department.
"Why was your commission in-
creased for the war orders?" asked
Mr. Macdonald.
"I offered to take over the busi-
ness and handle it," was the reply of
the witness.
During his evidence the witness
was reminded that refusal to testify
would be dealt with as it had in the
celebrated "state prisoner" affair of
two years ago.
There Was No Rescue.
PETROGRAD, March 30.-A state -
went referring to the German official
claim that in evacuating Memel the
Russians took with them 3,000 resi-
dents who afterwards were rescued
by German troops near Kromingen
was issued last night from the head-
quarters of the General Staff.
Headquarters says in it.; statement
that after a caretul investigation it
Las been established that an engage-
ment against German troops attack-
ing from Tilsit took place at Memel
and also on the roads from Memel to
Eorcjany and Meme' to Polangon.
The assertion is made that the
eesidents of Memel escaped to inter-
roning ground, where no fighting
vas in progress, and there awaited
.he issue of the battle.

When you have nothing else to do ask
she handy man to do n bit of repair
work. and spend the ensuing time
waiting for him to do it.
It takes a really skillful person to
be good and a clever one to stay that

You can't use your friends as much

A TRAP. FOR MARINERS '
Salmadina Bank, Off Colombia's Coast,
Is a Perilous Shoal.
One of the most dnugerous places for
navigation is the SaImadina bank,
which lies just outside tete harbor of
Cnrtngeno, Colombia. Many vessels
Imre come to grief on the treacherous
sands of Saltnadina in the past, and
because of the impossibility of keeping
buoys on it the shoal is a constant
menace to ships plying those waters.
This dangerons Mahle is nbout four
miles long and two miles wide. There
is scarcely .more than twelve feet of
water over it at any time. The sea
is usually smooth in that part of the
Caribbean, and unless there is ground'
swell enough to cause wares to break
en the reef thr•.>ze is nothing to warn
the navigator that he Is approaching
this shallow spot. He may bave his
lead going and get plenty of water
one minute and be bang up on the.
shoal the next.
The lighthouse people will probably
never be able to put buoys on Selma-
dine
elmadine that will stay there. They are in-
variably carried away in the terrific
hurricanes that periodically sweep
these waters. So it seems as if Selma -
dint: Was a bad spot:ptlt there for the
permanent worrlmeiit of shipmasters,
'-yews York. Sun.
GETTING INTERTESTED
i�ikTl
!lma n who hardly knew you
And who was nothing to you
Comes round to shake
Your band and melte
An awful fuss about you
As though to live without you
V rdS something that if he is true
Tib realty wouldn't like to do
And doesn't ' care, indeed c r
eor
t y
Because for why?
Well, you can guess
It more or less.
For this year he is on the slate
A full fledged, jolly candidate.
Row he relates the Latestokes
As he inquires about your folks
And wants to know
If itis so
our boy will graduate next year.
"Oh, dear,"
He says, "that boy is smart;
You're giving him a dandy start,
But he will have to go, you bet
To keep the pace his dad has sot;
He'll turn out well,
For stock will tell-"
You get the taffy strong and straight
From one who is a candidate.
Then he proceeds to talk away
About the evils of the day;
Says it is time
That graft and crime
Were made the public wrath to feel
.And that we need alibther deal,.
They could not win,
Who now are in,
This doubtful, offtcehplding crew,
If people just their'reeord knew.
He says it's fierce the way things are,
And then he slips you a cigar
And talks you blind and deaf and dumb.
Yes, this year he is going some.
Sisterly.
"Mother?"
"Yes?"
"I wish you'd make Brother Jack
stay out of his room part of the time."
"Stay out of his room?"
"Yes."
"Why should he?"
"He hangs round there so much that
I never have a chance to slip in and
get any of his ties."
Cheaper.
"I wish I could
travel"
"Then why
don't you?"
"It costs money
to see the world."
"Does it?"
"It does."
"You can .look
at the moon for
nothing."
Profitless.
"There are such a myriad of good
things that we are always going to
do."
"Yes, and I have always noticed
that they have a common peculiarity."
"What is it?"
"They never increase our bank ac-
count."
But No Player.
"Does your husband play poker?"
"No."
"I beard be did."
"That is an idle compliment."
"Compliment?"
"Yes. He loses an awful lot at
poker."
Fast Talker.
"That woman ought to be arrested."
"Mrs. Brown?
"Yes
"Why?"
"She is violating the speed law."
Like Ann.
"A man is as old as his arteries."
"Is that so?"
"That's what they say."
"And how old is a woman?"
"Oh, she is as old as the hills,"
Feel Good. ,z
"When are yon happiest?" ,

"After I bave bad the toothache." •
Linguist.

"Prizefight and motor."

"Oh, spare my blushes?" saidthe maid
Unto the man who threw hot air.
"I will," he graciously replied,
"For really you have none to spare."
PERT PARAGRAPHS.
The trouble with soreheaded people
is that they are certain to be entirely
too generous with their grouch.
Ii any girt were to have the ill for-
tune to marry ber ideal the fates wouldi
need to be kind to her.
Sometimes a dimple is worth'as mushy
in the marriage market as a fortune.
Many a well meaning man in trying
to cultivate friends has succeeded only
in raising a, Sue crop of grouches.
The people who fear -you won't find
out who they are unless they tell you
the history of their iives may be in-
formative, but they. are 'boresome.
There are persons so mean minded
that they ought to be thankful if they
stand any chance of losing their minds.
Some persons are really adept at ad.
justing difficulties, but they never can
guarantee that the adjustment will
hold.
Ent still we all like to see a woman

ployers' Federation, Who Urged
Ttotal Prolxibition During the
War, Says. Growing Conviction xs
For Drastic Action.
LONDON, March 30..-- "We are.
fighting Germany, Austria and drink
and so far as I c••n see the greatest
of these three deadly foe. is drink,"
said. David Lloyd George, Chancellor
of the Exchequer, replying yesterday
to a deputation of the Shipbuilding
Employers' Federation, the member
of which were unanimous in urging
that in order to meet this require-
ments at the preserve time, there
should be a total prohibition during
the period of the war of the sale of
intoxicating liquors. This should ape
ply not only to public houses, but
also to private clubs, so as to operate
equally with all classes of the come
munity.
It was stated tha'• despite the fact
that work was being carried on night
and day, seven days in the week, the
total working time on the average in
nearly all, tine British shilereads' eteast ' a"
actually less than before the war,
and the average productiveness bad
decreased There were mapynaxnne
doing splendid ar.d strelittus •work,
probably as good as thi men in the
trenches, but many did not even ap-
proximate full thee, thus disastrous.
ly reducing the average.
Notwithstanding the curtailment
of the hours they are allowed to
keep open, the receipts of the public
houses in the iv:ghborhood of the
shipyards had greatly increased, it
some cases forty per cent. ;As an in-
stanoe of one of many similar cases,
that of a battleship coming in for
immediate repairs was cited. She
was delayed a whole day through
the absence of riveters, who were
drinking and carousing.
In conclusion, the deputation,,.
which included representatives of
the leading shipbuilders of the noun -
try, drew attention to the example
set by France and Russia, and urged
upon the Chancellor the need of
drastic and immediate action.
"I have a growing conviction, bas-
ed on accumulating evidence," con-
tinued the Chancellor, "that nothing
but root -and -branch methods would
be of the slightest avail in dealing
with the evil. I aelieve it is the gen-
eral feeling that if we are to settle
German militarism we must first of
all settle with the. drink,"
Mr. Lloyd George intimated that
Lord Kitchener, the Secretary for
War, and Field Marshal French, in
command of the British Expedition-
ary Forces on the continent were of
the same opinion, ane. he promised
to lay the statements of the deputa-
tion before the Cabinet. He said ba
conclusion:
"I had the privilege of an audi-
ence with his Ma;esty this morning,
and I am permitted by him to say
that he is very dee I
y concerned o
n
this question, very deeply concerned,
and the concern which is fel: by him,
1 am certain, is shared by all his sub-
jects in this country."
